Summary: An Exploration of the Medical Universe through Contemporary Photography.

CLINIC, the first project developed by Rémi Faucheux and the non-profit organisation RVB, explores the aesthetic of the medical world through contemporary photography. Going a stage beyond photojournalism, it showcases the work of eleven photographers, exploring their unique perspectives on this multi-faceted theme. Partly created through hospital artist-in-residence programs, these photographs portray an intimate vision of these spaces and their inhabitants.
Working in parallel with CLINIC, the creators of Useful Photography have selected a range of vernacular photographs related to medicine. As with all of Useful Photography’s projects, this series comprises images originally made for utilitarian rather than aesthetic reasons. Instead of glossy photo-shoots, the work you see here is culled from scientific publications, communications documents and instruction manuals.

The Indie Photobook Library is TWO!

This past weekend, the Indie Photobook Library celebrated its 2nd Anniversary. Thank you to all the photographers/artists/bookmakers that have made the collection what it is today! I’d also like to thank Advisory Board members Darius Himes, Andy Adams, Shane Lavalette, and Gabe Reed and all the venues that have welcomed the iPL. In the last two years, the collection has grown to almost 1000 books. The iPL continues to promote and showcase the books in the collection through international pop-up and feature-length exhibitions, articles, conferences, guest lectures, and also preserves them as a non-circulating public library. Having a specific collection dedicated to this contemporary movement in publishing allows for the development of future discourse on trends in self-publishing, the ability to reflect on and compare books in the collection, and for scholarly research to be conducted years, decades, and centuries to come. I am looking forward to continuing the iPL mission.

Cheers,
Larissa Leclair
Founder, Indie Photobook Library
